Seeing lights at the bottom of iPad screen

Hi, so I was doing some stuff on my iPad (school work) when I noticed small lights at the bottom of my screen. Perfectly spaced, same exact lighting. I eventually told my friend about this and I don’t remember what they said (not including gender). I noticed for a few days (maybe weeks) and I eventually went into Settings, but no option for the lights. I don’t have a pic for it, but do you have any idea what this means if you know? I’d gladly hear it. Thanks

Is the effect similar to this:



Yes, I know that's a Mac, but I've not heard of this defect, called "Stage Lights," on an iPad or iPhone. Was fairly common in some iMacs for a while.


If it is a similar display defect, it is not a home fix. Have Apple evaluate.

A screen capture will likely not show a physical issue with the display, but you can use another device to take a picture of the problem and post it here. That can reduce the amount of guessing we have to do.
